Wasn't old Government House demolished around that time? In which case, I was wondering whether that surrounding fence was, in fact, demolition hoarding (and there appears to be some kind of cut-back tree in the backyard, visible beneath the tower)

Glenholme and St Clair looking NNW.

Nicely done with the night shots. I really find the older night shots at the archive quite compelling. Somehow, perhaps the nature of the light, they show a totally different night atmosphere in the past.

Good to see you up in my neighbourhood. This summer I intend to do an "Earlscourt then and now" thread.

Bay and Melinda NE corner. You can't stand on this corner anymore. They plunked Commerce Court down on it.

Anybody remember when the Lord Simcoe was demolished? Looking at this shot, I'd say... 1978/79? Kinda sad that this place only had a 20-year lifespan.
 
1980. (I remember it being demolished when Reg Hartt had one of his animation things happening, leading me to nickname it the "Tregoweth Brown Building")
 
Before they demolished the Lord Simcoe they sold off the furniture and fittings to the public; I dropped by one day, but nothing caught my fancy.
 
In the old photo, is that an illuminated "Jarvis" street sign? It's like those Centennial signs way ahead of schedule...

Andrew, It would be a dream to have 1916 levels vehicular traffic on our roads, especially on Jarvis.:) Even for a few days. Still, the cautious young lady here is looking left just before she jay walks.. note the blur of a moving car on the left edge of the photo. I suppose that everyone 'jaywalked' before the advent of traffic lights.

The old morgue; on which street?
